What a charmer.

If only she had a little more energy, a larger life force!

Gillie, as you know, I sent out the following words to people I love. I feel compelled to share beauty with those I love.
--------------------

Every week or so I catch up with my Gillie's marvelous words.

Her creative dance with life, the gusto with which she savors each moment---they kick me into a joyful reverie.

And, her spirit---soaked and splashing and running over with love---well, it makes me levitate.

I just float around for the rest of my day, my week.
---------------------------

My social worker friend Kitty Dillavou, who works with abused chidren---and who has also been to Malawi---sent this to me.

"Don- I have tears in my eyes while i read this blog from your precious Gillie. she's so beautiful and her words are a treasure and solice to my heart.

Thank you"

Kitty's close friend and mine, Lyla White. writes this:

"This is delightful, and the beautiful little girl is definitely a Thomas.

I am certain that Gillie's writing brings you much joy--as it does me."

Gillie, you must find a way to publish to a wider group of readers. More of the world needs to dance to your words.

In awe of your mothering, your writing and with enormous love,


Dad
